The X Button - Delay of Games

Sakaguchi hopes that the game in question will show up on a current system (as opposed to a mobile device, apparently)

For Mighty No. 9 and all other games, there are always bigger problems than mere delays.

So touching the faces of family is taboo? My large Italian family would say otherwise. Is the old granny who pinches the cheeks of her grandkids one hell of a cougar, or simply being a grandma? Don't some cultures kiss friends on the cheek? Seems removing suggests that friendly contact is bad, and we wonder why we're in a culture where some people can't sit on the same couch together without the fearful implications caused by being too close. We'll never get over being such children around each other if we keep blacking out all non-intimate contact in media.

Sure this isn't exactly the pinnacle of the art form in regards to the above issue, but if you can't defend the little stuff you can't defend the big stuff either.

In a bout of confusing nomenclature, Super Mario Advance 4 is the Game Boy Advance version of Super Mario Bros. 3.

It fits a Wii U controller screen nicely.

Oh, you should've put FFXV, Last Guardian and Rainbow Six Siege on the list.

well, atleast now we know why capcom fired inafune.

unless you want to experience crap like PC port of Arkham Knight.

But yeah, those scene/feature are dumb.

If NoA can release Pokemon games with that then why can't they release a Fire Emblem game with the same feature

I'm surprised Todd did a piece on delayed games and didn't touch on the burgeoning catastrophe that is Star Citizen.

No more dumb than Thracia 776 having a fatigue system,pitch black fog of war, having players forcibly dismount on indoor maps, and healing staves having the ability to miss.

There's a difference between base mechanics and optional mechanics/features. You cannot turn off or skip fog of war, the fatigue system, RNG for healing staves, etc. because they're essential gameplay features that you have to deal with if you want to progress in the game. The petting minigame in Fates is optional. Unless it's been said otherwise, you can skip the petting stuff entirely and still finish the game. I think it's dumb that Nintendo took out the feature but it doesn't make the game mechanically unplayable.

As far delayed games go, Miyamoto's famous saying holds true.

True, the missions and combat are pretty dull but the gravity manipulation is pretty creative , and the hub city is fun to explore. To compare, Mirror's Edge has a bad story and dull gameplay but many people liked it for the sheer fun of running and jumping off walls and buildings.

YMMV on the first part of his quote since delayed games have as bout as much potential to be terrible or underwhelming as much as a game that's either rushed or finished on schedule.

Hence why I cited Thracia's 776 absurd gameplay mechanics as being legitimately more dumb in comparison to If's petting minigame. Since the latter is purely optional and doesn't ruin the game unlike the former and it's ridiculous design choices.

Knowing Gamefreak they'll remove Pokemon Amie in the next game....they're good at introducing features or mechanics they'll wind up scrapping latter on down the road.

As far delayed games go, Miyamoto's famous saying holds true. That said, I think Inafune needs to stop spreading himself so thin.
